first entry!! yayyy! im actually really excited to start this, and honestly, it'll be super informal. this morning i woke up at 4:45, and got some pretty good sleep! i fed the cats and woke up stinky, said bye to emma and headed to work for the day. i took the tollway today and got there early, so i ended up taking a nap in my car before my shift. i woke up from my nap at about 5:55 and headed inside to open the cafe. i was the lead on duty today. emilie was the only one who showed up on time, but anika and kacey were late. its okay though no harm no foul! emilie helped with deployment, there were a lot of people today. we're trying this new bar flow and it's actually working really well. one person is on bar one, another on bar two, and a person on bar/inner bar expo, and it's just flowing really nicely. it's also really nice to be staffed well LOL. it's wild to think that's something i'm impressed by, because it's the bare minimum. anyway, it was a great shift, we had like 13 people or something like that, and the rushes did not feel like rushes at all. we got sysco, it was put away pretty quickly and caryn helped me. i also interviewed to become a certified trainer, which is pretty exciting! im gonna be getting a raise to 13+tips (it's alright, would love more but im grateful regardless lol). i'll have the chance to travel to other stores or possibly even out of state!!! they said everything's paid for! i'm so excited. at the end of the year though, i'm going to have to quit and get a real job. i'll definitely miss it, because i genuinely do love working at the cafe and i love all the people i'm working with right now. it's just really really good, and i'm really not worried about the money for once. we finished off the shift smoothly, and the closers came in. i left at 1:30, and headed home. i got home and finished my psych of death & dying project over life is strange, and i'm lowkey proud of it. it's about death themes in the story. after that i went on a picnic with emma and we got dutch! she made us heart waffle sandwiches with double egg double cheese bacon!!!!! it was so amazingly good. she's such an amazing girlfriend. we went on a little walk around the lake we went to after that, and saw a ton of birds, and also a couple of baby bunnies. they were so cute. SHE ALSO PICKED ME A WILDFLOWER BOUQUET!!!!!! i love her so much. i won forreal. after that we headed home, and now we're smoking some wacky tobaccky iykwim :3. saw lots of caterpillars in the garden, they're eating all the veggies!!! it's okay though because they're cute.
